Those numbers look small, but when you're gambling your own money on razor thin margins, you're better off moving your money someplace else than paying additional penalties whether your investment wins or loses. Simply charging a 0.5% on every trade alone would be enough to destroy liquidity almost as soon as that policy was put into place. Most day traders, and the people facilitating liquidity don't even earn that much for themselves per trade. Besides, this ignores the immorality of helping yourself to the value in someone else's 401k, or other good investment. Especially if it's being used to buy votes, and encourage students to make a poor investments, like a college degree that won't pay for itself. If you want an arts degree, gender studies, or any other non in demand degree you should have to pay for it yourself. Why should everyone else have to work harder, or go without to pay for someone else's poor investment? I don't like bailing out failed banks, failed businesses, and failed students because not only does it waste money, it also removes the incentive to not fail. We need to encourage students to earn a degree that actually endows them with skills that are in demand in the job market. Earning a degree in this electrical engineering, software engineering, and other STEM majors are already guaranteed to pay for itself. Why fuck over the people who study, or work hard, in favor of someone going to college as a hobby, or way to avoid being productive? I also don't think Bernie and crew are walking up the right path with this, but he's not suggesting taxing individual investors. He's talking about Wall Street establishment. We all know those power players are playing a game of unfair competitive advantage based upon tech and access thAt allows them to skim fractions of a cent off tens of millions of trades hourly to gleam massive wealth out of essentially thin air. Whereas I do believe in trickle down economics and understand how it eventually will affect just about everyone, he's not suggesting going after the average joe investor that might be leveraging his life saving for a half point return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is talking about taxing individual investors, and as a working class person who he claims to be supporting this will 100% effect my retirement account. There is no such thing as a mythical elite on wall street, everyone has to follow the rules laid out or face the consequences and the SEC def has a hard on for whales. There are some that are more successful than others, and some that have more weight to throw around in the market and effect it, but everyone pretty much has to follow the rules, which may not be perfect. Bottom line, these taxes, even the .005 dividend tax which has been tried before and found to have destroyed market liquidity have already been tried, and scrapped by most of the countries that have tried implementing them. There is no magical way to raise enough money to buy votes that will not have a negative effect on the overall economy or Socialism wouldn't have failed every time it's been implemented. You can try to target successful people by demonizing them, implying they're hurting people simply by being rich/successful, but in the end this just means a short period of more consumption by the welfare recipients, followed by an even longer period of less investment, which in the end translate to less consumption by everyone overall. For all the shade thrown at them, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Buffet, etc. have done more individually to improve the lives of average Americans than any politician ever will, even if we allow them to help themselves to all their money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_habiT Posted February 10, 2020 Author Share Posted February 10, 2020 I think Bill Gates and Bezos are geniuses. Look at what they've built with just their visions. Nobody handed that to them. I don't know much about Buffet other than he has a lot of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 For the record, i’m not defending Biden. He can suck my ass.

abrasivesaint Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I did actually. I’ve been through, and have stayed in Kansas City for a few days. Stayed on the Kansas side, partied on the Missouri side. Not exactly sure what that 2nd part means. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abrasivesaint Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Exactly, thats why i pointed it out. KC-MO, and KC-KS are only (mostly) separated by a river. Was just pointing out if we’re going to talk about slip ups, Trump has quite a history himself. Being physically in the geographical location or not. When you travel a lot, shit can get blurry, especially if you dont give a fuck, happens to musicians. In his defense, until i’d been to Kansas City i had no idea it spanned 2 states. If i did know i had long forgotten. Edited February 12, 2020 by abrasivesaint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kults Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 https://www.spiked-online.com/2020/02/07/je-suis-mila/ Quote A 16-year-old has become the most hated girl in France after she criticised Islam on an Instagram livestream. Mila (who can only be identified by her first name) is currently cloistered in her house, living under police protection, and is unable to return to school. During her livestream, a Muslim boy asked her out in the comments, but she turned him down because she is gay. He responded by accusing her of racism and calling her a ‘dirty lesbian’. In an angry follow-up video, streamed immediately after she was insulted, Mila responded by saying that she ‘hates religion’. ‘The Koran is hateful… Islam is shit… Your religion is shit… I’d stick a finger up your god’s arsehole’, said the teenager. The video went viral and was reposted on multiple social-media platforms. Before long, Mila was receiving death and rape threats, and her identity and school were made public. Her family and the local authorities have been unable to find her a school that will guarantee her safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kults Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/high-school-runners-sue-to-block-transgender-students-from-competing-in-connecticut Quote High school runners sue to block transgender students from competing in Connecticut The families of three high school cross-country runners are attempting to stop transgender athletes from participating in girls' sports in Connecticut by filing a federal lawsuit one day before the start of the state's indoor track championships. Students Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, and Alanna Smith say that allowing students with male anatomy to participate in sports against female-born athletes hinders their competitive opportunities. The lawsuit was filed against the Connecticut Association of Schools and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference, which require that students be treated according to the gender with which they identify, in keeping with the state's anti-discrimination law and with local boards of education for Bloomfield, Cromwell, Glastonbury, Canton, and Danbury. "Mentally and physically, we know the outcome before the race even starts," Smith told the Associated Press on Wednesday. "That biological unfairness doesn’t go away because of what someone believes about gender identity. All girls deserve the chance to compete on a level playing field." Smith is the daughter of former Major League pitcher Lee Smith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
